About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of the US-Israeli war against Iran and the state of diplomacy in a time of conflict.

Alternate Current Radio and 21st Century Wire present: Sunday Wire with Patrick Henningsen This week SUNDAY WIRE returns with special guest host Bryan ‘Hesher’ McClain , covering the biggest stories in the US and internationally while Patrick Henningsen reports from abroad. This week we examine the uneasy aftermath of the US-Israeli war against Iran, as millions mourn the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and questions mount over whether the current ceasefire is merely a temporary pause before a wider regional escalation. We’ll also mark America’s 250th anniversary by looking beyond the fireworks and political pageantry to explore the deeper contradictions facing the modern republic, and ask what remains of diplomacy in an age increasingly defined by permanent conflict and managed narratives. Later in the Overdrive segment, we’re joined by teammates Adam ‘Ruckus’ Clark and Basil Valentine for a deeper analysis of this week’s geopolitical developments, along with commentary on sports, culture, and the ever-shifting global landscape. All this and more… 21st Century Wire: Website: https://21stcenturywire.com/ Support: https://21w.co/support Alternate Current…
